Narrative

A razor sharp edge of the liner cut through Troy""s leather glove when he dropped the liner segment. As the piece fell it lacerated 3 fingers on his left hand. The PPE was not appropriate to protect him from the sharp edge of the worn liner. He failed to recognise the hazard and take appropriate action. The liners were worn beyond reline limit to failure.
